53 degrees. I put hot water in my trim saw but my fingers still felt like they were in an ice bucket. If it warms up this afternoon, I'll try to grind. Tahoma, Blue Mountain (I slabbed a piece of rough and found a piece that had fractured off the slab in my saw), Horse Canyon (not moss that I thought would try to cab), Royal Imperial (from the gem shop). A bunch of fractures and lost two other preforms I was trying to cut.

It warmed up and is 67 degrees now. I ground and dopped the 6 on the left and added a free form Royal Imperial that follows the pattern. Temperature permitting I'll finish them tomorrow.

I had to flip the Tahoma because of a chip on the back that will grind away as the face. The slab scene is 55 on the original top and 45 on the new top before grinding. Things go wrong and choices need to be made.

I was curious how it would look so ground through 280 soft. Wet of the wheels.
